I wonder if we ever played tennis at the same time, Margaret R. My friend, Betty, and I spent a lot of time on those courts in 1958/59.
In Accrington my memory place is the Wayside café (opposite Joe Mort's), playing Elvis, Buddy Holly and Lonnie Donegan on the juke-box, drinking frothy coffee and being gently guided by the fatherly hand of the owner, Stan Forber. I was introduced to my husband there, in January 1960 - 3 days before my 17th birthday.
